The UE may also transmit information to the base station during a PUR occasion associated with an SSB that is associated with a RSRP that is greater than a threshold. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, in an inactive state, that uplink data is to be transmitted. The UE may determine whether a timing advance of the UE is valid. The UE may, if the timing advance is not valid, determine whether the uplink data satisfies a transport block size (TB S) threshold. The UE may, based at least in part on whether the uplink data satisfies the TB S threshold, selectively transmit the uplink data via an uplink random access channel (RACH) message or a configured uplink resource, or establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection for the uplink data. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for quasi-colocation (QCL) assumptions, such as QCL assumptions for combined single-DCI (downlink control information) and multi-DCI mTRP (multiple transmission reception point) scenarios. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving signaling configuring the UE with a first index value associated with a first plurality of control resource sets (CORESETS) and a second index value associated with a second plurality of CORESETS. The UE may receive at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that activates a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, indicates one of the first or second index values, and that maps at least one TCI codepoint in downlink control information (DCI) to two TCI states. The UE may determine one or more TCI states to use for receiving one or more transmissions based, at least in part, on the mapping.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to differentiate random access response types, such that a user equipment (UE) may identify a random access response for the UE. A UE may transmit a random access message that may be associated with a first type of random access response. The base station may be configured to communicate different types of random access responses, and may configure a random access response and an associated downlink control signal to correspond to the first type of random access response. The base station may transmit the downlink control signal to the UE by configuring different demodulation reference signals, different group identifiers, different search spaces or control resource sets, or different downlink control information. The UE may determine that the random access response is of the first type and may receive the random access response based on the decoded downlink control signal.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a base station determines a spatial relationship for a group of PUCCH resources, and transmits a control message that indicates the spatial relationship to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the spatial relationship. In some designs, the control message conveying the spatial relationship identifies the group of PUCCH resources via the PUCCH group index, while in other designs a different identification mechanism may be used. In another embodiment, a base station determines an association between a group of PUCCH resources and a PUCCH group index, and transmits a control message that indicates the association to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the association.

Numerous other aspects are provided.

The UE may measure a RSRP of each of the set of candidate DL-RSs associated with the CG-SDT resources. The UE may select an UL beam based on the measured RSRP of each of the set of candidate DL-RSs associated with the CG-SDT resources. The UE may transmit, to the base station via the selected UL beam, the UL data transmission over a CG-SDT occasion of the plurality of CG-SDT resources. The UE may monitor the SS for a response to the UL data transmission from the base station.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may directly send small data to a disaggregated base station without performing a random access procedure. The CU-CP may provide a list of routing identifiers and corresponding data resource bearers (DRBs) to a distributed unit (DU) and the DU may transmit a connection release message to the UE. The connection release message may include the list of routing identifiers and the list of DRB identifiers. The connection release message may also include a downlink monitoring timer. The UE may identify data for an uplink transmission and a DRB associated with that data. The UE may transmit a packet with the data and the routing identifiers to a DU, which may derive downlink address information from the routing identifiers and forward the data to a CU-UP of the aggregated base station.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine an average energy level radiated by the UE over a time period. The UE may determine whether the average energy level radiated by the UE over the time period exceeds a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The UE may transmit, to base station, a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) that includes information related to a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) applied at the UE and/or an uplink duty cycle in effect at the UE based at least in part on the average energy level radiated by the UE over the time period exceeding the MPE limit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including a UE and a base station. The UE can receive a MAC CE indicating an update to a spatial relation configuration of the UE for PUCCH transmissions. In some aspects, the update can be indicated by PUCCH resource information, where the PUCCH resource information can include first PUCCH resource information including a first PUCCH resource ID that identifies a first PUCCH resource and first spatial identification information. Additionally, the UE can update the spatial relation configuration of the UE based on at least one of the first PUCCH resource information or other PUCCH resource information of the PUCCH resource information, where the other PUCCH resource information can be in a same PUCCH resource group as the first PUCCH resource. Also, the UE can transmit a PUCCH transmission based on the updated spatial relation configuration.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability report to a base station indicating a triggering offset. The base station may configure the UE with one or more channel state information (CSI) measurement resources and send downlink control information (DCI) that triggers an aperiodic CSI report for some of the CSI measurement resources. The UE may report CSI by measuring the CSI resources after the triggering offset. In some cases, CSI reporting related to the different codebook types (e. g., Type I, Type II) may be modified, where after identifying a type of codebook and determining which type of codebook to process (e. g., based on a number of CSI processing units), the UE may identify a priority associated with different CSI reports. The UE may be configured with various parameters that relax or modify the processing of Type II CSI reports.
